A/N: I'm happy that you all reviewed! I know you have a lot of questions (confusing story) but I hope to answer them all in this chapter! I know the story goes fast but I'm slowing it down now, I had just wanted to get to the main plot and where the pairings get paired up.

Disclaimer: I don't have enough free time to own Rurouni Kenshin.

Her eyes snapped open as her cloak flew off of her. A dark aura surrounded her one that held traces of evil and yet purity. The crystal shackles around her arms shattered into millions of pieces and she heard the voices of her family cry out to her thanking her for shattering the bonds on them and she felt their spirits leave. Looking down at herself she noticed she was wearing black shorts and a black tunic with her sword in the short's belt.

She looked at the sun god and his minor gods, "You asked for my real name; it's Kaoru, Kamiya Kaoru the last princess Nuit."

"The Yukishiro's caught one of my family members a long time ago and captured the kingdom yet they still support me, the Yukishiro's oblivious. According to the contract of the Gods made so long ago, any who I wish will come and help me claim Nuit once more."

"First things first, we have to interrogate you." Kenshin said.

Kaoru shrugged, "Fine by me."

"First off, who are you? And tell us how you came into the Yukishiro's service."

Kaoru nodded, "My full name is Kaoru Kamiya and as you probably don't know I'm the last goddess of the night. A long time ago there was an uprising and at that time the gods and goddess's of the Night ruled over Nuit. At some point one of my ancestors fell in love with a human, a Yukishiro. The love was one-sided and was never returned to my ancestor."

"The love grew to the point where my ancestor would give up anything for her and did. He offered his service and let her bind him with crystal chains. He didn't know that the chains were enchanted and that once one god put them on the rest in the family would be bound. The night clan was only made of the Kamiya family and the ending result was that we were all bound."

"Since we were a whole family of gods and goddess's we found out the bond's weak point, sunlight. We were restricted from leaving the castle in the day time and if we tried to stay out till dawn they tapped into our magic supply and instantly teleported us inside of the castle, minutes before the sun touched us."

"We were trapped for so long the Yukishiro heirs began to forget important things. They soon forgot about the bonds when we got our cloaks and if they knew about them our magic power would be theirs to use. They also began to forget that it was the Kamiya family; of course we had a small part in that." Kaoru smiled a sad smile, full of memories.

"We hid the noise of the bonds and fortunately if they did hear them the Yukishiro's were arrogant enough to think that we wouldn't lie to them but they figured out we had basic servant magic though. When Tomoe first spoke of coming here I was relieved that she was stupid enough to ignore the one thing that her lineage had warned her about. At one point though she received a message not to come here, it was a death threat. She stayed by my side all this time because she was afraid she was going to be assassinated; she would have stayed in Nuit but she wouldn't pass up the chance."

"I would have rather broken the bonds in a show for Tomoe but it was cloudy, not enough light to break them but them you came and they were broken."

"Where is the rest of your family?" Hiko asked.

"The rest of my family," Kaoru breathed in a shaky breath, "the whole captive thing didn't work for them and they wasted away; passing on their powers as tradition was, to the youngest, me. They all wasted away leaving me left and as much as I wanted to go with them I would rather live and find salvation."

Kenshin's eyes were wide, this girl had lived this way, seeing everyone she loved passed on yet kept at it. The rest of them obviously felt the same way and Misao looked as if she was about to cry. All in all they were at a loss of words.

Hiko nodded, "I mourn for your losses; even as the gods of night they were good people, not evil, as everyone portrayed them. Kaoru gave a thankful smile to the man.

Kenshin nodded at Hiko's words, "I think a proper introduction is in order, I am the Sun god Himura Kenshin." He stood bowing.

Sano bowed next, "Sanosuke Sagara the Sun god of war." The gods were divided; there was a Sun or day clan and a Moon or Night clan. Within the Sun clan there were different families that became the separate god of what they were, the sun's aspects. The strongest earned the title of sun god of… The main family raised the main sun god and the other families raised his aspects.

In the Night clan the main gods all came from one family, the Kamiyas'. The main god, the god of the moon which was what Kaoru had been at first before she had gained her families powers. The last main god usually had the next one. She was currently all of the Night's aspects.

Misao stood curtseying, "Misao Makamichi, the Sun god of shadows."

Aoshi bowed next, "Aoshi Shinamori, the Sun god of ice."

Megumi stood curtseying, "Megumi Takani, the Sun god of healing."

Hiko gave an awkward bow, "Hiko (can't remember his last name) the god of the sun's skies"

Megumi smiled, "Know that I think about it, you gave us your last name when we first met."

Kaoru's eyes widened and she rubbed the back of her head, "Well I was thinking about when we were free and how I'd greet people."

"So when are we going to tell Tomoe-dono?" Kenshin asked.

"Tomorrow at breakfast; it'll be so fun to tell her she's not a royal!" Kaoru said, childlike excitement dancing in her eyes.

A/N: I plan to update this in a few days…hopefully.
